A BOOK EVERY TECH SHOULD HAVE

[unit_399]

We finally had a break in the everyday/everynight thunderstorms here, so I was able to get the new roof installed on my shack/workshop. Spent the last week cleaning and rearranging all of my "stuff." The place was a mess, but at least now I can walk around without having to climb over s**t. While going through things, I found a box of reference books that I'd forgotten about. One of the books was "UGLY'S Electrical References. Pocket-size with tons of useful information. I remember finding this in a used book store back in the 2000s. I paid $2.00 if I remember correctly. Checked on Ebay, and the current edition goes for 20 bucks !! Cheapest used one I saw was $5, which is reasonable. Anyway . . . it's something I think every tech can use.

My edition is 17 years old, so the newer ones may have more info added.

Thanks for the tip! I like looking at various reference material, but have never run across this one so I took a look on eBay and picked up the 2020 version
